But why put peated with respect to the municipal franchise. To advert Ireland, cry O'Connell and Shell, on a different footing front now to another matter out of Parliament. A controversy has England, as to the amount bf qualification, and front Scotland been going on in Dublin between a Protestant and a Roman as to the imposition ofa rating test ? The answer is, that the vast Catholic Clergyman, in the course of which it became ncces majority of houses rated for municipal purposes in England sary to examine the contents of a book written by one Dens, a do in fact possess a value of 10/. or upwards, and that of those Monk, which book is one of those that the Romanist Clergy which do not, the occupants are not under the single and of Ireland are compelled to study. It is one of their " class uniform influence of one gigantic spiritual power, the sworn books." The Protestant Clergyman, in commenting upon enemy of Church and State : whereas in Scotland, where the this book, had occasion to point out its abominable indecencies, qualification is expressly and specifically a 101. house or pre- and consequently female auditors were excluded upon the day raises, there is no evidence of wholesale fraud or perjury prac_ that this nasty class book was under discussion. The Ro tised for the manufacture of a false qualification, assuming to manists and their hirelings, one and all, attack the Pro be worth 101., but really not worth half the sum. A uniform testant Clergyman for his grossness in bringing such matt ers franchise may exist in the words of an Act of Parliament, but under discussion ! Is not this modest ? We Protestants that will not produce a real uniformity as between Great complain of the abominable indecency of the Romish books Britain and Ireland. The true ground and motive for a test from which the Priests are taught, and the Romanists, taking being recommended by Sir R. Peel with regard to Ireland is advantage of the abomination whi c h t h ey h ave composed, rail on record in the general history of th e e l ec ti ons f or t h at upon us for bringing it into discussion. Why, whose is the country, and in the proceedings of the Committee on fictitious fault? Let them not put indecency into their theology, and votes, of which Lord Granville Somerset was Chair- we, in discussing their theology, will have no occasion to dis man. His motive is simply to guard against crimes which cuss indecency. But, with habitual Romanist moderation, do not exist either here or in Scotland, through the fright- they are guilty of the depravity, and then charge all the blame ful prevalence of which, the Irish elective franchise has upon those who would expose that depravity. This honest been reduced to almost nothing, and by which the whole intent party it is which governs the nominal Government of Great and purpose of the law have been defeated. Sir Robert Peel Britain I—Morning Post. read extracts from the evidence before that Committee which astounded every Member of the House of Commons who had already been familiar with them. Mr. Lane, the treasurer for the city of Cork, a man of (so called) liberal politics, who had always voted for candidates of the O'Connell tail—.this gentleman acknowledged that in fact the 10/. franchise in Cork was a delusion ; that among the constituency of that cit s v, no fewer than 365 persons were registered as voters, whose houses were rated of less value than 101. ; that of those whose houses were not rated at all, and therefore must have been of less t/.'an 51. value, 119 had exercised the rights of electors, and many of those who for the purpose of claiming the elective franchise had sworn their houses to be of the value of 10/. afterwards, when the question of rating for municipal purposes came, swore that the same houses were not worth Si. Now, is not this decisive as to the impudence of demanding institutions similar in name to those of England, where there is, and can be, from the different nature and habits and mo rals of the people, no similarity in substance ? Is net this an abundant justification of Sir Robert Peel's principle, that in Ireland we must have guarantees against falsehood and wickedness which are not required here ? Is Sir Robert as a protector of the laws of Ireland, of the freedom of election, and of a true representation of the people in Parlia ment, not bound to guard the elective franchise against the frauds of men who will swear one day for the sake of voting that their house is worth 101., and the next day, under the fear cf rating (to save a ,few miserable shil lings of local tar), will swear that the identical house is not worth 51., obtaining in both cases an easy absolu tion from the priest, who directs their votes, and who is said to be no friend to those taxes whereby he does not personally profit ? We say this is the real state of the Irish elective fran chise, and that it is a mere farce to talk of " assimilating in stitutions" between that country and Great Britain, by apply ing the same words of an Act of Parliament to each, when the same words produce in each effects so entirely opposite. But the mere objection offered by Lord John Russell to the enact ing e qualification of 10/, and measuring it by a 101 rate, was that from certain usages in Ireland difEring from those of England, and certain charges failing upon the Irish tenant, which are bone by the landlord here, the Irish tenant must in reality possess a holding worth considerably more than 10/. before it can be subjected to a rate of that amount. To this it was answered, with the utmost frankness and integrity, by Sir Robert Peel and Sir William Follett, that what they wanted, and what they would accept, was a quail fication constituted by premises of 101. and no more ; that they did not contemplate a fiction under cover of the law, any more than they would tolerate fictions in violation of the law, and that they would he as repugnant to call for the occu pation of a house north 121 in satisfaction ofa 10/. franchise, as they ttonld be to recognize it valid qualification in a house worth only 8/. vale n the law required IN. Sir Robert Peel and Sir William Follett urther declared that the Conservatives would be perfectly satisfied with any adjus!msnt or management of the voting which should ascertain the value of the house to be 10/. and no more as a sufficient qualification. 'Phis, !weever, we take leave to judge, will net answer the views of Mr. Daniel O'Connell, nor ;via any settlement of the franchise which shuts the door egainst fraud. The learned fact-and loose player has given notice, that he will move to strike out of the Bill ar, provision for Rquisia any specific value as the basis of the Irish franchise. Of course, no such thing as a qualification to he determined otherwise than by the oath, or, in other words, the conseience of tile psrty himself, will ..uit O'Connell. '3.'he Cork fashion will do best for him. But still Parliament countenance the iniquity? Never.— Times. It will be seen that Mr. Wyse has placed the, following no tic referring to dust most es,:nntial object the establi s h m e n t of a oathmal .5) stern of education, on the notiee-ho , )k of the House of .Correntins for discussion to-morrow night:--" Ad dress to her Majesty, that she said be graciously pleased to appoint a Boaed of Commissioners of Education iu Erigisn‘l, with the view especially of provid'ng for the wise, equitable, and efficient epolicatioa of Mims granted or to be grsnted for the advanceim.nt of Education by Parliament." The late transactions 1,, Kent—and the melancholy superstition they exhibit—demonstrate the necessity. as well as urgency, which exists for the accomplishment or tame great and uniform mea sure of popular educasion. Lori Brougham took thie view cf the matter when referring to it oa Thursday night is the House of Lords ; and he pointedly said that, " when his Bill for a system of national education should be brought forward next week, he lilted to have advocacy and support (in consequence of those transactions) from many of those who had been hitherto lukewarm or opposed to hie comprehensive measure of education." We have lately had the strongest proofs that can be experimentally adduced of the power of education in repressing crime. The criminal returns of the Metropolitan Police for the last year have proved it beyond all question. From these official documents it appears that of the persons taken into custody who could neither read nor write, and who amounted to 15,463 males and 13,033 females, 6,783 males and 5,073 females were summarily convicted, and 656 mal e s and 364 females were tried and convicted. It further ap pears that of "such as had received sup,-rior instruction, out of 1,032, only 23 males and females were tried and convicted; that out of the whole number there were only 31 females sub jeeted to committal, and that out of those only three were sum marily convicted, and none tried and convicted." A more trium phant demonstration of the beneficial power of education in checking the growth of crime, and ameliorating the morals of society, was never submitted to the public. Our ancestors might well assign some merit to "benefit of clergy." There can be no longer a question that the obstruction of education is tantamount to the obstruction of religion and morality, and to the encouragement of irreligion, crime, and vice. To faci litate and diffuse the soarces of education should be, in the present condition of society throughout the world, the pri mary object of the philanthropist and the Statesman. What ever the exclusive bigotry of ecclesiastical selfishness may pretend, an educated and instructed people will always be a moral and religious people. Education contributes to the success and profit of the manufacturer, the mechanic, and the artisan, as well as to social morality. Ignorance of the laws of matter is not the road to good workmanship. The at tractions of debasing indulg ences . will al ways be super seded by the growth intellectual improvement. No more certain castigator of the corruption s of society and the tn.:due severities of our criminal code would be found than the schoolmaster. Education would alone mitigate the cri minal laws and supersede to a great degree the punishment of death, by rxidering its application unnecessary. It would not only frustrate the inflammatory arts of such a visionary demagogue as the mock Sir William Courteeay, but it would render nugatory the arts of coder and abler charlatans, wh ose means of operation are found in the ignorance of the people. A corrupted freeman would, it. the midst of a highly educated peoplo, be considered as something less or worse than man. A high sense of patriotic honour and self respect would be the feeling produced by establishing such a comprehensive system of education as Mr. Wyse proposes. Such 'a feeling once engendered, there will be an end of all future offers of LAW INTELLIGENCE. COURT OF QUEEN'S BENCH, JUNE 12, BLUNT V. HARWOOD, SCOTT, AND SIR HERBERT JENNER. In this case a lute had been obtained for a prohibition to be issued to Sir Herbert Jenner, commanding him to proceed no further in a suit relating to church rates, in which the other parties were engaged, The affidavits stated that in 1830 some of the inhabitants of the parish of Streatham conceiving that there was not sufficient accommodation in the church of that parish, and being desirous of enlarging the church for the purpose of increasing the amount of that accommodation, had held a vestry meeting, and after some discussion had referred the matter to a committee. That committee had made a report, and a notice was then given of a vestry meeting to take the report into considera tion. This meeting was held ; a resolution to enlarge the church was passed, and another to borrow money at interest for that purpose; and a rate was imposed on the parish to pay interest en the money borrowed, and finally to repay that money itself. In 1836 Mr. Harwood refused to pay that rate, and he was then libelled in the Ecclesiastical Court. Mr. Harwood took an objection to the insuffi ciency of the notice underwhich the meeting that resolved on borrowing the money and raising the rate to pay it had been held. The Ecclesias tical Court had held the notice to be sufficient, and had made a decree accordingly. The present application was then made, with the view of preventing that decree from b eing enforced. Sir W. FOLLETT showed cause against the rule.—Rule discharged. WILLIAMS V. PAXTON. Mr. J. JERVIi moved for a rule to show cause why an order of Mr. Justice Coleridge, giving the defendant in this case ten days further time to plead, without imposing any condition as to taking short notice of trial, should not be set aside. This was an action for a malicious prosecution, brought by one of the parties who had recently been tried atthe Central Criminal Court on a charge of conspiring to forge a will. She was tho servant of Mr. Williams, the principal defendant. The declaration in this case was delivered on the 29th of May, and if the defendant had pleaded in proper time, the issue might have been made up, and the trial could have come off at the sittings atter this Term ; but the order now complained of would have the effect of throwing the case over the long vacation.—Rule refused. COURT OF COMMON PLEAS, JUNK 12. HITCIki:CIS V. WALFOUD. This was an action brought against the Rector of a parish in North amptonshire to recover the value of certain tombstones erected in me. mory of the plaintiff's father and other members of his family, who were buried in the church-yard of the parish. It appeared on the tai t! that the tombstones had been removed by the order of the defendant, for the purpose of convert ng Ora portion of the church-yard into a burial-place for the poor. The cause was tried by Mr. Justice Littledale, at the last Assizes for Northampton, when a verdict was found for the plaintifF. A rule nisi for a nonsuit or a new trial had been obtained by Mr. Ser geant Goulburn last Tcrm. Mr. Sergeant Addams was to.day about to show cause against the rule, when The COURT suggested that the best course would be to enter a stet J:rocessus, but the Learned Counsel on both sides wished the ease to stand over, as their clieWs ivere not present, in order that thi y might have the opportunity of consulting them.—The case ac cordingly stands over.

By WILLIAM HOWITT. Lately published, by the same Author, THE RURAL LIFE OF ENGLAND. 2 vols., numerous Illustrations, 245. joke, therefore, thi.t the subject has been taken up `seriously by the Earl of DEVON, who is to be as sisted in the inquiry by nearly all the Law Lords, and by a number of Peers who are chairmen at quar ter-sessions. A check may easily be devised against un due severity, or the freaks and insolence of office, by de claring that all summary convictions must be made before two ►magistrates, and that police-offices shall be open to the public, and by a proper selection on the part of the Home Secretary of men to fill these offices —men, not only "learned in the law," but possessing common-sense and common humanity. The conduct of some defunct and some displaced magistrates showed that these latter quali fications were the last things that Lord SIDMOUTH thought of. The Imprisonment for Debt Bill was read a third time in the House of Lords last night. Although the Bill is very different from what it was when it passed the House of Commons last Session, and falls far short of the expec tations of the country, inasmuch as it only partially abolishes imprisonment for debt, still it is matter of con gratulation that the Lords have sanctioned a measure which must be considered as a vast improvement upon the present barbarous system. The Bill as it now stands, and as it will in all proba bility become law, abolishes arrest on nicsne process, except in cases where it is sworn that the debtor is meditatin g flight. This seems the amount of the benefit which it confers on the debtor, and which we willingly admit to be very great. In lieu of this concession, the creditor receives an equiva lent which ought in all conscience to satisfy him. As the law now stands, a creditor can only take one half the profits of his debtor's freehold estate ; whereas the Bill gives him, a year after judgment shall have been obtained, the privilege of being paid out of the freehold itself, sold under the superintendence of the Court of Chancery. Copyhold property is to be dealt with in like manner. Various other kinds of property, such as property in the public Funds, Shares in Companies, Promissory -notes, Bills of Exchange, &c., which are now beyond the reach of the creditor—have been rendered available to the satisfaction of his claims. Besides all this new security for payment, the creditor is to retain the power of arrest in execution, in order, it is alleged, to prevent the fraud that would be practised by unprincipled debtors, who might either conceal their property, or invest it in foreign securities, when they found themselves pressed by the law at home. Another important provision of the new measure is, that it empowers the creditor, after the person of his debtor has been taken in execution and imprisoned twenty-one days, to make him pass through the Insolvent Court (if he does not himself adopt that course), by which means his property becomes vested in an assignee for the benefit of all his creditors. Such are the chief features of the measure. It will be seen by our Parliamentary report that no opposition was made to the third reading. Lord ABINGER made some observation s in his usual way, and very similar to those which might be expected to fall from an attorney of the lowest grade, whose mind is incapable of taking an enlarged view of a subject, or of rising an inch above the pettiest details. Creditors, said this Sage of the Exchequer, will not like the Bill because it weakens their securities, and debtors will hate it because it compels them to give up the property which they want to keep. Here is a legal logician for you. Were there ever two propositions more directly opposed to each other The article which we copy from the Herald on Mr. O'CoNNELL's motion, which stands for to-morrow, and on the influence of the monopoly of our market, which we concede to the West Indians, together with the bounty which is given them on refined sugar exported, makes it unnecessary and injudicious in us to write at length, as we intended, on the same subjects. Mr. O'CoNNELL's motion goes to put an end to the slavery of a'l females on the Ist of August next, and that motion must, we think, be suc cessful. We cannot conceive an assembly of Englishmen decreeing the continued slavery of a large body of women. If t hey had the power, who can doubt that they would instantly liberate the enslaved inmates of the harem ; and having the power, i❑ the case of the West Indies, we cannot doubt that they will liberate women from the slavery of sugar cul tivation, and the horrors of the tread-mill. Mr. O'CONNELL is backed on this question by Protestant Britain as well as Catholic Ireland, and the high moral sense of the commu nity will enable him to overcome the technical difficulties which technical men will seek to put in his way. high in the confidence of the Porte, who was the bearer of important communications from the SULTAN to the BEY. The same letter intimates that the British residents at Tunis had promised the BEY that some ships of war would be sent to his assistance from Malta. The review of the National Guards on Sunday passed off very orderly. We copy from G alignani's Messenger of Monday a brief, but not uninteresting account of it : The legions of the National Guards, of Paris and the Panlieue, and troops of the line, forming the garrison of the capital, were yesterday mustered at an early hour, and by nine o'clock had marched in succes .ion to the ground allotted to them. The Legions of Paris were sta tioned in the Court of the Tuileries of the Place du Carrousel. Those of the Banlieue were ranged along the Quai des Tuileries, and the troops along the Place de la Concorde, the Quai d'Orsay, from the Pont de la Concorde, to the Pont des Invslides, arid on the esplanade of the Hos pital. Soon after nine the Dukes of Orleans and Nemours proceeded to inspect the troops. At a quarter past eleven the King, accompanied by the Duke d'Aumale and Duke Alexander of Wurtemburg, followed by all the Ministers, Marshals Soult, Melitor, Lobar', and Gerard, with a numerous staff of Generals, proceeded along the whole of the lines, receiving as he went loud arid reiterated cries of " Vice le Rol." This occupied the King till soon after one, when his Majesty took his station at the foot of the obelisk, fronting the Tuilerir s, and was followed by the Queen and Princesses in a carriage. Here the legions of the National Guards, the infantry of the line, the cavalry, and artillery, passed before his Majesty in review order. His Majesty ap peared in excellent health. The day was exceedingly fine, and the whole passed without disorder. The utmost precautions were taken; all the avenues were closely guarded, and no person was permitted to come within a certain distance of the ground without special leave. The gardens of the Tuileries were closed to the public, and only Peers, De puties and persons provided with tickets were allowed to enter. It was half-past four when the King returned to the Tuileries. In the evening the whole of the staff and the superior officers of the National Guards and the troops reviewed had the honour of dining with the King and Royal Family. The subjoined extracts include the only intelligence from Spain contained in these Journals. The slowness with which events are developing themselves in the Penin sula would astonish us were we less acquainted with the Spa nish character. But when are we to witness the falling of the curtain at the close of this bloody fratricidal drama? A journal of this morning says " never was money more plentiful, or the state of commerce more satisfactory than at this moment. The Bank of France has now in its vaults specie to the amount ofabout three hun dred millions, and bills to the amount of one hundred millions ; of bills to the amount of eleven hundred thousand francs, which have been pre sented to it to-day, it has not been obliged to refuse a single one, which is very rarely the case."—Journal des Debats. BAYONNE, JUNE 6.—Don Carlos was at Tolosa on the 4th. The news of some serious action in 'Navarre was expected at the Pretender's head quarters. The division of the Ribero, which was waiting near I'eralta for reinforcements from the division of Colonel Iriarte, was on the point of coming to action with the divisions of Guergue, Garcia, and Carmona. The Phare of Bayonne announces that Tristany has been arrested at PHospilalet, in the department of the Arriege. We published this news on the 4th of this month. (Private correspondence of the Constitutionnel.) Onesas, MAY 11.—Four vessels, laden with ammunition and cloth ing, are going to set out for Leghorn, and thence they will proceed to endeavour to effect a landing on the coast of Spain. A promise is made to Don Carlos that if he should succeed in making himself master of some place in the kingdom of Valencia, a legion of Russian volunteers will be sent to him. We have a letter from Toulon of the 7th instant, which says a telegraphic despatch from Paris has brought to Marseilles orders for the Triton of the line to sail immediately for Mexico, where it will be under the orders of Captain Bazoche, commander of the blockading squadron. The Triton, which was lately at Athens, will receive its sailing orders about the 20th. The Dupetit Motors brig having received the despatches for Cap tain Bazoche, which arrived during last night has just sailed. The Volage and Zebre brigs will shortly proceed to the same desti nation. P.S.—Orders have just been sent to Captain Cary, commanding th• Hercules, which has the Prince de Joinville on board, to proceed im mediately to the coast of Mexico, and join the squadron of Captain Bazcche, which it is said will be put under the command of a Rear_ Admiral.— Constitution net.

German Papers of the latest dates have reached us this morning. According to advices from Hanover, of the 2d instant, the Chambers have alarmed the KING, by adopting so many changes in the form of the new Consti tution, as already to render it more democratical than the Constitution of 1833. The following is the only intelli gence of any moment communicated from the north of Europe : ST. PETERSBURG, MAY 2 5.—Count Nesselrode is to leave Petersburg, on the 2d of next month, and goes to Berlin, where he will stop a week, and then proceed to Carlsbad, where he will remain till the Emperor return from the South of Germany. ➢I. V. Brunoff, and three other officers:of the Foreign Department, will accompany the Vice_ChancrL lor. M. V. Budowoneki will conduct the affairs of the Foreign Depart ment, during the Count's absence. :As far as we know here, the Emperor will stop a fortnight at Berlin, then accompany the Empress to Silesia, and spend three weeks with her there. From Silesia his Majesty thinks of going to Warsaw, whence he will return to Silesia to accompany the Empress to Kreuth, near Munich, after which, their Imperial Majesties will again honour Berlin with their presence, and then return direct to this city, so that we may hope to have the Imperial family again amongst us in the course of Cctober.

In this case, which has been several times before the Court, a palt" had been presented to the Lord Chancellor, for a Commission of Lunar) against a lady of the name of Hall. The petition had been heard op former day, when we gave all the facts; and the matter was ordered tc stand over, for tie lurpose of seeing whether some arrangement coul, not be come to between the parties, Sir WILLIAM HORNE said that no arrangement having been come t °, , it now became his duty to oppose the Commission, which he did t l l , l the ground that it was a l together unnecessary, and would have the eflec of depriving Mrs. Hall of the comforts that she now enjoyed.

PARSON MAGISTRATES.— WC have in our eye a clerical Magistrate in this very diocese, who, in his day, was pres:ad, as one of a bench of Magistrates, on an occasion when the people entered into a conflict with the military, and blood was shed. R did not occur even in his own parish, and this makes the ease tell yet more strongly in favour of our argument. And what has been the result ? The cir_ cumstance to which we allude occurred twenty years ago or more, and yet the memory of it is as fresh i n th e m i n d s o f h i s parishioners as if the thing had only happened yesterday. He is, we know, kind in his lan. page and manners to all who come in contact with him ; charitable, to • a degree, to the poor; generous, to a proverb, to all who h appen to be employed by him; and yet his parishioners, to this day, can not approach him without a shudder, a kind of involuntary horror, which they cannot overcome. We cannot better describe the feeling which they entertain towards him, than by relating a circumstance, which we know to be a fact, and which happened within a few weeks of this very day on which we tell it. " How comes it," said a friend of ours to an artisan in this reverend gentleman's parish, "that none of you like working for Mr. ? He seems to me to be the kindest of men and the best of masters." " Yes," replied the man, " for that, it is the nest shop in the parish to work at. He has a kind word for every body, and always pays us more than we bargain for ; but, then, you know, Sir," and here he gave a look full of meaning and horror, " but, then, you know, Wit., we can't help it, we call him the blucher." This one simple fact, which, as we said before, we know to be true, is worth a thousand volumes of argument. It shows the practical working of the system which tolerates a clerical magistracy, and loudly calls upon the Legislature to remove the evil.—Liverpool Albion. The celebrated Dr. Antomarchi, so well known to the world as the physcian who followed Napoleon to St. Helena, and re mained with him while he lived, died on the 3d of April, at St. Jago de Cuba.

He afterwards ;ravelled through Mex i co, and on his return to the United Statcs he stopped aZ fit.

'O. 'WITH WHICH " THE TRUE SUN" IS NOW INCORPORATED. LONDON: WEDNESDAY EVENING, JUNE 13, 1338 The Times, of all the Journals in this wide empire, has suddenly found out this morning that the Parliament is too pure, too righteous to tolerate the petty iniquity, on its chewing, of a fraudulent franchise for the municipal corpo• rations for Ireland. Would to God that we could believe in its righteousness, fur then we should daily have the pleasing task of inculcating confidence in its decisions. But what has it done as to the franchise in England ? Decreed that it shall belong to certain freeholders, copyholders, and householders ; and at the same time it daily declares by its acts and its deliberations when appealed to, that the fran chise shall be exercised by certain landlords and money lords, whom it aids by means of that very franchise, in op pressing the men whom its decrees have made dependent on the land and money lords. A notable example of this very iniquity, not practised in Ireland but in England, where, in fact, similar instances are daily brought to light, was last night submitted to the notice of the House of Commons, which disdained to take the least notice of the affair. The Tories called it paltry. Why? Because in fact, the enormity is of such daily occurrence, and is so generally practised by men of all parties belonging to the class of landlords, that it has in their eyes lost all its blackness. They think they have a right to dispose of the votes of their tenants, just as the planters think they have a right to dispose of the bodies and souls of the negroes. It is a moral fraud on a great scale, a gigantic iniquity, pervading the whole body of the electors and land-owners, and like other great fraud s and gigantic iniquities—such as the tithe tax, levied under the pretence of promoting the love and knowledge of God, and such as a national war waged touching the honour of a Crown—is not only tolerated but lauded and ordained by the Parliament. It is amusing to hear the Times, which has lately been so furious against Parliament on the score of the Rox burgh Election Committee, and Controverted Elec tions in general, and was fornrsrly so vigorous on the subject of the Corn Laws, implying in any manner to suit its own present purposes, that the Parliament has a horror of iniquity. For our parts, when we know that the Parliament, and notably that section of it which the Times now attempts to write into public admiration, has for years, and even centuries, under the iafluenceof the Oxford Jesuits, and the prejudiced convictions of the members in favour of their own narrow, exclusive and petty sect of Christians, inflicted grievous penalties and misery on large masses of the people, and continues from the same selfish and unenlightened motives to inflict them, we arc ready to suppose that there is no kind of iniquity, consistent with its own prejudices and interests, Parliament will not tolerate. It is bound to treat eqtially all the subjects of her MAJESTY, and has nothing to do with the affairs of another world. It is not only an iniquity, therefore, in the Parliament to assign a superiority to any sect of Christians —it is an absurdity. In this case it adopts a sorry and a disgusting limitation to the great doctrines of universal love and kindness, which are the basis of Christianity, and under the influence of an arrogant and stupid bigotry, into lerant of every mode of thought and worship but its own, it has committed, and commits, the enormity of grievously insulting and grievously injuring many millions of those . whom it asks in return to respect and obey it. When it has thus avowed itself the enemy of large masses of the people, decreeing eternal hostility to their Christianity, the Times finds out, that a reason for continuing:its oppression is the existence in Ireland of a " spiritual power, the sworn enemy of Church and State." The Parliament commits one iniquity, and then is obliged to commit another to 'keep in subjection the party it injures, just as a vile burglar sometimes finds its necessary to add arson or murder to robbery, in order to make sure of his plunder. But what can or will the Times say to the Corn-laws ? • Will it tell us, with the excellent illustrations of the effects of those laws which it continually supplies by its comparisons of prices between wheat here and in the neighbouring i countries, which only this shy informs us that wheat is it !'7B. t s per cent, d earer i n E ngland than in France—will it, ',with this pr oo f o f the Parliament making the people ply .nearly twi ce as muc h f or their bread as is necess ire, say that it 'has the sma ll est f rict i on of intolerance for any iniquity t.vlitch Seems to serve its own purpose ? It stints the food of the pe o pl e to put money into the p oc k ets o f those M vho are smbers of Parliament. It starves some o f t i :e s eople t o e:ir i c h t h e l an d owners. It would he a monstrous kiquity if the P a rli amen t were to put a tax on corn to en ich one c ! a s s o f t h e peop l e, w h o h a d no influence over. eking th e l aw ; b ut a ll wor d s are f ee b le to describe the :quit s . of tho s e l aw - ma k ers w h o d ecree such a law to nrish thems Ives. A m on gs t th ese l aw - ma k ers, too, and who den te great advantage from stinti ng th e peop l e in bread, which they are most willing honestly to earn by the sweat of their brow are not a few Bishops of the united and twin Churches of England and Ireland. Not tolerate iniquity, ' indeed ! If the Times will show us above three greater iniquities in the whole circle of man's offences—heavy and numerous though they be—than this of Christian Bishops, and Christian Legisla tors, making laws, starving the people who confide in them, in order to add to their own wealth, we will henceforth speak of it as the very oracle of the world whose voice no man ought to gainsay. Not tolerate iniquity indeed ! What injudicious hand guided the pen to write the sentence while its own pages daily bear proofs that the Church of Ireland, and the Corn Laws, are upheld by infantry and yeomanry, under the command of the Parliament, and give the lie to its assertions ? A Select Committee has just been appointed by the House of Lords to take into consideration the expediency of extending the system of summary conviction. Th e hardships and bad effects of the present system have often been pointed out and discussed in the House of Commons ; but no material change has taken place, owing to a reluc tance on the part of the Legislature to increase the power of Magistrates. This jealousy is no doubt well founded, but it may be carried to too great an extent, and has arisen in a great measure from the appointment of men, such as many of the Metropolitan Magistrates were, totally unfit to perform the duties of Magistrates. The present system, in fact, encourages crime. It is with the greatest difficulty that a person can be brought forward to prosecute boys for a petty theft, and many prefer taking the remedy into their own hands, and inflicting summary punishment according to Lynch law, to the annoyance and loss of time caused by the present mode of trial. The consequence is, that many offenders escape, and many suf fer more imprisonment before trial than would be assigned to them by the Judge on conviction. Grand Juries hav e repeatedly called the attention of Judges to this mockery of justice, and to the absurdity of wasting their time i n listening to Pvidenoe qn patty charges, which could be muct bettcr os disnad Pf two glistfaO W s ? e re, The Paris Journals of Monday have all been received. Several of the opposition prints express, in the strongest terms, their disapprobation of the Report of the Chamber of Peers on the Five per Cents. Bill. They maintain that as the question was purely financial, it was the duty of the Committee to allow a Bill, which had been carried by a large majority of the representative body to undergo the careful and respectful revision of the Upper Chamber. They further contend that as the Government had been so signally defeated upon so important a measure, the Ministers would have better consulted the dictates of duty and personal serf -respect by resigning, than by depending upon a non -representativ e branch of the legislature for a temporary protraction of their tenure of office. We likewise find in these Journals some curious obser vations respecting the conduct which, according to them, it behoves England to pursue in the event of France comin g to an open ruptnre with the Bey of Turas or the Porte, or most likely with both. One extract from the Courrier Francais will illustrate the style of reasoning and of argument adopted by all :- 7 Lord Palmerston knows perfectly well that France is greatly em barrassed respectin g her new ac q uisition of Constantine, and that she in tle!;ree seeks to achieve the conquest of Tunis. His Lordship also, knows that France has every reason for demandin g satisfaction at thel hands of the Bay of Tunis, and also for preventin g the asserr Wage of al large Turkish force upon the frontiers of our African possessions,i Under these circumstances, and with his knowledge of the facts, wouldl it no t be a mean a nd unworthy policy to pick a q uarrel with France at,t the very moment when the united efforts of both kin g doms are required in order to defeat the Machiavelian combinations which are at this moment exhibitin g themselves in the East ?" Wiii:e admitting the importance of preserving the most friendly relations with France, as a guarantee for the peace and progressi..e liberalization of Western Europe, we must protest against the unlimited right claimed by France of n.Ctirtg according to the dictates of her own caprices in Africa. To check the dangerous power of Russia in the East, it is of the last importance that we should strengthen rather tha n permit France to weaken the hands of the Porte. If our Parisian Contemporary be really sincere in his wish to defeat the Machiavelian oriental policy of the Ciatt—if he really dread danger to the liberties and the pe.tee of Europe front the triumph of that policy, he fur nishes us with th e strongest argument for preventing the humiliation of the Porte in the capital of a vassal by a Power which has repeatedly professed the co-operation of MAIIMOUD to be necessary to the nullifi• cation of the designs of the Cabinet of St. Petersburgh. We have already sufficiently proved that we are above en tertaining any mean jealousy of the triumph of the French arms, by the cordiality with which we congratulated the past success of France in Africa ; but it would be preposte rous to expect us to look indifferently or patiently on while France assumes the power of regulatin g the intercourse of t h e Porte with a vassal of the Ottoman Empire, with whom she is not actually at war. France complains of in-i re l ults. Is the refusal to sell horses an insult [which a great nation is called upon by the law Fiaf honour or of nations to resent by a blockade ? France wanted to purchase fifty- of the BET'S horses ; that Prince returned for answer that he had not horses enough to mount his own cavalry, and instantly a cry is raised about an indignity offered to the majesty of the CITIZEN KING. w e are quite aware of the prior insult offered by the servants of the Bay to the French Consul, but we are likewise aware that reparation was offered and ac cepted, and that France expressed herself satisfied with t h e result. This may b e d en i ed, but the best proof of its correctness is the return of the French Consul to Tunis, and especially in the late offer to purchase horses from the BEY. We have, therefore, in conclusion, only to observe, that should Admiral GALLO'S, in execu tion of the orders which he is reported to have received from the Minister of Marine, bombard the Turkish fleet on its attempting to open a communication between the Sur, TAN and his vassal the BEY, it will become the imperative duty of England to throw her weight into the settle occu pied by the Porte, England cannot contemplate the Bey of TUNIS awaiting the same fate as the lley of ALGIERS and the Bey of CoNsTANTINE. To do so, would prove how very imperfectly she was acquainted with all the bearings of the Oriental questions, A letter from Tunis of the 19th ult. states that a Turkiah . bris had landqd PAcHtico, OsmA;sl );3EY, an ofAcer A (Tram] inaiCh of seed . ,i---------.e-777"'--3hearrier-picreons has been proposed by tlte Swig y, shof.

This case was argued early in the present term by the Solicitor - General, for the Crown, and for the defendant by Sir Charles We therell. Upon that occasion the Court took time to consider the poi nl !. involved. At the sitti ng of the Court this morning the Lord Chic' Baron gave judgment. The information was filed to recover the probate duty upon some property in the defendant's possession as the administrator of a lady named Randall (we believe). The property consisted of Russi an ' Danish, and Dutch b on d s, and for the Crown it was argued that though the money owing upon the bonds was owing by parties without the i ll " risdiction of the spiritual Court which was to grant the probate, Yd. inasmuch as it was proved that the respective governments retained an agent in this country for the payment of the dividends upon the bond °, and that they were a saleable chattel on the Stock Exchanger as much as was a foreign bill of exchange, the Crown was entitled to 1 14 duty under the sth Geo. 3, chap. 84. The Court adopted that opinion ; they were of opinion that the bond` had a sulEcient locality in this country to render them liable to the probate duty.—Judgment for the Crown. QUEEN'S BENCH.-('PHIS DAY.) The Grand Jury came into Court this morning, and announced that no Bills had been sent up to them during the present Tarm. After b ing thanked for their attendance by Mr. Justice Lurrumus, the! were then discharged. TIIE QUEEN V. POLIILL, H.P. AND ANOTHER. The ATTORNEY GENERAL prayed the judgment of the Court upon the defendants in this case. It appeared that in consequence of some" proceedings adopted by a Sub-Committee of the proprietors of Drury lane Theatre, of which Captain Polhill was the lessee, the de fendant sent his friend, Captain Onslow, of the Fusileer Guards, to de' mand an apology, or the usual satisfaction, for the uncotirteous treat._ ment lie had received. A rule for a criminal information was obtained, and subsequently made absolute, the defendant having suffered judgmen C to go by default. A great number of affidavits in aggravation and mitigation having been put in and read by the officer of the Court, The ATTORNEY-GENERAL th en addressed the Court on behalf of the prosecution, and observed that the present appeared to him to be a Ye l l, serious case. There were no circumstances of aggravation connects with the conduct of Captain Onslow, but he regretted that he bad n et given his friend Captain Polhill better advice, than to convey a circular challenge to four diff erent gentlemen. There were, however, no cf,', curastances of miti ga ti on i n the conduct of the defendant, CaPta Polhill. He was th e l essee of the theatre, and became indebteu to the trustees, of w h om the prosecutor was one, to the anWune , of several thous an d pounds; and no direct answer having beet given to the repeated applications of the solicitor, Mr. 13 "; gess, it was inti mated that execution would be issued again!, Captain Polhill's goo d s. A personal interview which the defendsn' solicitor requested, w as re f used by the Committee, and Captain Polhill conceiving that t o b e a personal insult, sent a letter to each of the , bers of the Committee, requesting an apology, or the usual satisfacti on ' Immediately afterwards a series of libels appeared in the Age Ne' vg. paper, of which the defendant was sworn to be one of the proprietor s ' After proceedings h a d b een taken, an apology was sent privately by th defendant to each of the prosecutors. Sir W. FOLLETT, for the defendant, observed that apology had been acknowledged by Captain Polhill. Lord DEIVMAN thought the Court must look upon that apology a' public act of the defendant. The ATTORNEY-GENERAL said all the prosecutors required was t° be protected from similar attacks. Lord DENAIAN said it was always understood, in any arrangene nt come to at the suggestion of the Court, that a repetition of such conduc t was not to be permitted. The ATTORNEY-GENERAL, on behalf of the prosecutors, exPr e " ea himself satisfied, and thus the matter terminated.

The weather since our last, though rather cold, has been f a vourable to vegetation. Th e i mports of Grain, Flour, and Oatmeal were In°de. rate only during the above-mentioned period. Our market this morn ing was tole ra bl y we l l attended by country millers and dealers, but T).,`7_ withstanding the stock s o f a ll art i cles except Oatmeal, being considery °i?' lighter than usu a l a t t hi s period, very little business was transexte d • Wheat, however, was sold in retail at the currency of Tuesday las t ' Oats, on thecontrary, were id. per 451bs. cheaper.

We mentioned in our second edition yesterday that Mr. Lascelles and Air. Baring Wall, staunch Tories, had voted against sir Robert Peel on the Ten Pound Franchise question. Those Mem hers will not support Sir Robert any longer in his ridiculous system of hostility to the Irish. We also mentioned that Lord Eliot, who was in office with Sir Robert, and Sir C. Coote, had abstained from voting, and were willingly absent from the House. We are glad to se• these signs amongst the Tories of a return to reason and justice. MR. MIDSHIPMAN EASY-NEWTON FoRSTER. --These two novels form the fifth and sixth volumes of the cheap and' elegant edition of Captain Marryat's works, in which the public ma) , now obtain the originally published thirty-six volumes of these delightful iea stories in one-third the size, and the whole for less than the original charge of one of the tales. Need we say one word more to induce those .vlio admire the writings of this author—and who that ever perused any of them does not — iturnedialely to possess themselves of these lively' uid natur, ildclLiieations of character ? If other recommendation were needed, the portable shape and beautiful illustrations would be all WA: dent.— Caledonian Mercury, TO ADVERTISERS.
